Should parents anticipate not being able to fulfill their payment obligations in time, they must notify the Business Office immediately! Parents should also expect a regular follow-up on all past-due accounts.

Mid-Year Withdrawal

If a student begins the school year but withdraws before completing it, the School Fees will be prorated and refunded, minus the Seat Reservation Fee.

FEE AND PAYMENT CURRENCY

The School Fees are designated in USD. We prefer payments in USD, but you may pay in HUF, EUR, and other currencies as well. Please always use the daily MNB (Magyar Nemzeti Bank) exchange rate.

Please read and follow the payment instructions carefully, and pay special attention to payment amounts and currencies. We are unable to refund overpayments on fees. Any overpayments on the Seat Reservation Fee will be deducted from the Parent Contribution Fee.

Financial Assistance

There is a limited budget for financial assistance set aside each year which is available for our students. Our goal is to allocate the limited pool of funds across many families, keeping in mind the mission and vision of the school. The decision to grant financial assistance is guided by several factors, including the demonstrated need of the family.

Important Points to Consider About Financial Assistance

Financial assistance is need-based.
You must apply for it each school year.
You are required to demonstrate your eligibility or need truthfully.
Applying for financial assistance does not guarantee that the request, in part or in whole, will be granted.

How to apply for Financial Assistance

Any request for a reduction in the published Parent Contribution Fees requires a completed Financial Assistance Application Form every year.

NEW STUDENTS

You may apply for financial assistance through our Admissions & Enrollment portal, after you submitted the Student Application Form and paid the Application Fee. We recommend applying for financial assistance as soon as possible (but no later than February 15 for priority applicants). The form will be available on your Admission Checklist within the Admission & Enrollment portal.

Financial assistance decisions are communicated with the admission decision.

RETURNING STUDENTS

You may apply for financial assistance through our Admissions & Enrollment portal, during the re-enrollment process after you fill out the Intent to Enroll form, but no later than December 15. The Financial Assistance Application Form will be available on your Enrollment checklist within the portal.

Financial assistance decisions are communicated by March 31.
